Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive and malignant type of breast cancer with limited treatment options and poor prognosis. One of the most significant impediments in TNBC treatment is the high heterogeneity of this disease, as highlighted by the detection of several molecular subtypes of TNBC. Each subtype is driven by distinct mutations and pathway aberrations, giving rise to specific molecular characteristics closely connected to clinical behavior, outcomes, and drug sensitivity. This review summarizes the knowledge regarding TNBC molecular subtypes and how it can be harnessed to devise tailored treatment strategies instead of blindly using targeted drugs. We provide an overview of novel targeted agents and key insights about new treatment modalities with an emphasis on the androgen receptor signaling pathway, cancer stem cell-associated pathways, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway, growth factor signaling, and immunotherapy.
三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)是最具侵袭性和恶性的乳腺癌类型,治疗选择有限且预后较差。TNBC治疗中最显著的障碍之一是该疾病的高度异质性,TNBC的几种分子亚型的检测就突出了这一点。每个亚型由不同的突变和通路异常驱动,产生与临床行为、结果和药物敏感性密切相关的特定分子特征。本综述总结了有关TNBC分子亚型的知识,以及如何利用这些知识制定量身定制的治疗策略,而不是盲目使用靶向药物。我们概述了新型靶向药物以及关于新治疗模式的关键见解,重点关注雄激素受体信号通路、癌症干细胞相关通路、磷脂酰肌醇3激酶(PI3K)/AKT通路、生长因子信号传导和免疫疗法。
